CiteScore: 3.89ℹ
CiteScore is the number of citations received in one year (Y), to documents published in the three previous years (Y-1, Y-2, Y-3), divided by the number of documents published in those same three years (Y-1, Y-2, Y-3).

Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP): 1.466ℹSource Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP):2015: 1.466SNIP measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field.

SCImago Journal Rank (SJR): 1.999ℹSCImago Journal Rank (SJR):2015: 1.999SJR is a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are the same. SJR uses a similar algorithm as the Google page rank; it provides a quantitative and a qualitative measure of the journal’s impact.

With the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, showing resistance to most if not all antimalarial drugs there is a pressing need for the development of new chemotherapeutic approaches. Polyamines, multivalent nitrogenous bases, are present at high concentrations in proliferating malaria parasites. Inhibition of the malaria parasite’s polyamine biosynthesis pathway has been shown previously to cause cytostatic arrest of the parasite, but does not cure infections in vivo. In this study Niemand et al. show that in addition to being synthesised within the parasite, polyamines are taken up from the extracellular environment, into the intraerythrocytic parasite, via a mechanism that is influenced by both the pH and the parasite membrane potential. On inhibition of parasite polyamine biosynthesis the amount of polyamines taken up from the external medium increases. An antimalarial strategy based on depleting the parasite polyamine pool may therefore require the inhibition of polyamine uptake as well as biosynthesis.
